What is recorded here

Standing stone in Brackyle rises one metre twenty-four from reclaimed pasture beside the Reask River, its limestone edge leaning north as if listening for water. Animals have scratched the surface smooth while the stone kept its shape through floods and forgetting. It stands where Coolnapisha begins, marking a boundary no map remembers and a life older than measurement.

On a gentle SE-facing slope, in reclaimed pasture, on the floodplain of the Reask River which is 300m to SE and 90m to SW of a townland boundary with Coolnapisha. Situated within enclosure (LI024-134----). Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Monument surveyed by the ASI in 2008 and described as a single, upright standing stone (H 1.24m) of limestone which is subrectangular-shaped in plan (L 0.4m; Wth 0.34m) and is orientated NW-SE along its long-axis. The elevations have an uneven surface and the stone leans slightly to N, possibly due to animal scratching. Monument is visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-2013 and on Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018. See attached Google Earth orthoimage taken 28/06/2018.
